1 Let us, with a gladsome mind,
praise the LORD, for He is kind:
for His mercies shall endure,
ever faithful, ever sure.
2 Let us blaze His name abroad,
for of gods He is the God:
for His mercies shall endure,
ever faithful, ever sure.
3 Let us all His praises tell
who doth wrathful tyrants quell:
for His mercies shall endure,
ever faithful, ever sure.
4 He with miracles doth make
heav'n and earth, amazed, to shake:
for His mercies shall endure,
ever faithful, ever sure.
5 He by wisdom did create
starry heav'ns so full of state:
for His mercies shall endure,
ever faithful, ever sure.
6 He did solid earth ordain
t'rise above the wat'ry plain:
for His mercies shall endure,
ever faithful, ever sure.
7 He, with all commanding might,
filled the new-made world with light:
for His mercies shall endure,
ever faithful, ever sure.
8 He hath caused the golden sun
all day long his course to run:
for His mercies shall endure,
ever faithful, ever sure.
9 He doth shine the moon at night
with her spangling sisters bright:
for His mercies shall endure,
ever faithful, ever sure.
10 He with thunder-clasping hand,
smote firstborn of Egypt land:
for His mercies shall endure,
ever faithful, ever sure.
11 And in spite of Pharaoh fell,
He brought forth His Israel:
for His mercies shall endure,
ever faithful, ever sure.
12 Red Sea waves He cleft in twain,
split in two the ruddy main:
for His mercies shall endure,
ever faithful, ever sure.
13 Floods stood still like walls of glass,
while the Hebrew bands did pass:
for His mercies shall endure,
ever faithful, ever sure.
14 But full soon did they devour
Egypt's king with all his pow'r:
for His mercies shall endure,
ever faithful, ever sure.
15 He His chosen race did bless
in the wasteful wilderness:
for His mercies shall endure,
ever faithful, ever sure.
16 He in battle has brought down
kings of prowess and renown:
for His mercies shall endure,
ever faithful, ever sure.
17 Conquered Sihon and his host
of the Amorrean coast:
for His mercies shall endure,
ever faithful, ever sure.
18 Large-limbed Og He did subdue
with his over-hardy crew:
for His mercies shall endure,
ever faithful, ever sure.
19 To His servant Israel,
gave their land therein to dwell:
for His mercies shall endure,
ever faithful, ever sure.
20 He hath with a piteous eye
looked upon our misery:
for His mercies shall endure,
ever faithful, ever sure.
21 Freed us from the slavery
of th'invading enemy:
for His mercies shall endure,
ever faithful, ever sure.
22 All things living He doth feed;
His full hand supplies their need:
for His mercies shall endure,
ever faithful, ever sure.
23 Let us therefore warble forth
His high majesty and worth:
for His mercies shall endure,
ever faithful, ever sure.
24 He His mansion hath on high
out of reach of mortal eye:
for His mercies shall endure,
ever faithful, ever sure.
